OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers has another winner to beat the sportsbooks<\/a> Sunday is on the Texas Rangers (+133) to Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

No doubt the Phillies pitching staff shoved it up my butt in the first two games of this series shutting down Ron Washington\u2019s bats but once again this current Philadelphia Phillies offense is fairly non-existent and I can\u2019t help but grab a solid price back today in fading them.<\/p>\n

Roy Oswalt is certainly a borderline great pitcher and better than Matt Harrison but the\u00a0Texas lefthander has been very good for the bulk of this season and should be at least that tonight\u00a0against the beyond scuffling Phillies. Ryan Howard did go deep yesterday but he is still not the Ryan Howard we have known in years\u2019 past and the rest of the offense is extremely mediocre right now, and that is being kind, \u00a0without Chase\u00a0Utley and Shane Victorino. In fact in the past eight full games they have not been able to eclipse the three run mark once and have averaged less than two runs per game. Certainly with their pitching staff that could be enough and has been enough in the first two games of this series but come on. No team can consistently win with that lack\u00a0of offense and it\u2019s going to get them at some point and today could be that point.<\/p>\n

Texas is certainly not overachieving right now at 23-23 as Josh Hamilton has been a major loss but there are still potent bats in the lineup with Young, Kinsler and Beltre and in the end I\u2019ll go back to this well, even if it has been a tad dry of late.<\/p>\n

Look for Harrison to be just fine against Charlie Manual\u2019s poor offense and for the Rangers to avoid the broom and get out of the city of Brotherly Love on a winning note.<\/p>\n

Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: Texas from Matt Rivers<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>A quality Sunday and some more\u00a0jack in my pocket that is what I can promise. Two winners today including one on the hardwood and one on the diamond. Just look above at the numbers, I may not win every single day but I certainly win most days making me love my chances once again today.<\/p>\n
